First Phase III/IV Trial with Patient Diaries
Oct 2006Sydney based Pharmaceutical company adopts the Clinitec IVRS system for their Phase IV trial which is setup to record daily symptom information from patients through a freecall number. Patients failing to call the service each day receive an automated reminder call. To assist in monitoring compliance a daily report is also generated advising the Sponsor of patients who have failed to record their symptoms during the previous day .
IVRS Study running out of New Zealand with Drug Supply Management
May 2006A new set of Phase II studies were initiated for a New Zealand based research organisation using IVRS for Patient Randomisation in conjunction with Swift Call's newly developed Drug Supply Management capability. The Drug Supply Management system dispatches drugs to the sites on activation and using just-in-time techniques automatically re-supplies the sites following patient randomisation and on subsequent treatment visits. This approach mimimises drug manufacturing requirements during the trial and wastage at the completion of the study.
First Web Based Phase II Trials Active
March 2006With the completion of the development and validation of the new Web based Patient Randomisation system Clinitec has deployed the first of its "IWRS" systems for an international study operating out of Sydney. The availability of the IWRS system was seen by the sponsor as an appropriate solution for this trial as it reduced costs and time in preparation and UAT.
Please note that due to privacy and contractural obligations Clinitec is unable to provide details of sponsors and trials with which we are associated.
